Academic Integrity Community of Practice Speaker

    April 11, 2024 12:00pm to 1:30pm
Where:
Online

Join us on April 11 from 12 -1:30 p.m. for the final Academic Integrity Community of Practice Speaker Series – Artificial Unintelligence? Preparing students for the opportunities and challenges of generative AI. All are welcome to join – contact Jennie Miron for the link to the session (jennie.miron@humber.ca).

Are you wondering how generative AI is going to influence your teaching? How do we prepare our students for a world which is already embracing generative AI, and will continue to adopt tools like ChatGPT at a rapid pace? Can we encourage the use of these tools in the classroom without encouraging inadvertent plagiarism? This seminar will address these questions and more. It will cover what GenAI is and is not, discuss the real and imagined dangers of generative AI, and help to introduce how we can prepare our students for both the opportunities and drawbacks of these tools.

This session will be led by Dr. Jaigris Hodson, Arvind Kang, and Najeeb Ahmed. We encourage those attending to read the following articles before the session if you are able:

 Bios of the session speakers:

Jaigris Hodson is the Canada Research Chair (tier 2) in Digital Communication for the Public Interest. Her SSHRC and CIHR funded research examines the ways that misinformation can be mitigated through digital communication efforts, particularly those targeted at the research community. Thus her current work examines such interdisciplinary topics as educational interventions to address COVID-19 related misinformation, the online harassment of diverse researchers, the discourses of conspiracy theories, and ecological approaches to understanding misinformation in a modern context.

Najeeb Ahmed is a librarian at Humber College Libraries and supports the Longo Faculty of Business (North), the Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST) and the Humber International Graduate School (IGS). When not working, Najeeb likes hiking in urban settings, exploring nature pockets, and surviving in the concrete urban jungle.  

Arvind Kang is a librarian at Humber College supporting students, staff, and faculty from the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the Faculty of Media & Creative Arts at North Campus. Additionally, he is the librarian supporting the Humber College Office of Research & Innovation. He’s also a dog dad and loves all things poetry, music, movies...and basketball of course!
